i dont think Adam can advise for you to pay your $210 and them maybe not race for most of the day, i suppose thats your choice to make, but remember they arn't to happy with SAU NSW after last times cancellation so i wouldnt want any more arguements with WSID that may jeopordise future events.

to know 100% just give them a call and ask i suppose

There are a number of cars that are interested in doing some 'test' runs. Adam, can you please get a clarification on the 'no sub-11.00 sec' rule. Can cars that are tech inspected still race as long as they don't go quicker than 11.000? What happens if a car breaks this ET? Do they ask you to ease off the boost or do you get booted straight away?

Nothing under 11.00 means as soon as you go under that you are booted.

Normal street meet rules apply in the sense that you need a Superstreet licence to go faster than 12.00 (I think, can the drag racing experts please confirm?) but you don't need to be tech inspected to go that fast.

That said; there's not that many 10 second cars around and they will most likely know you and unless you can provide a valid reason why you wont be running that fast you wont be allowed to race at all.

For instance, saying you are practicing launches and will get off at half track is not ok. Saying you normally run NOS to get 10's but wont be on this day so expect 11's will be ok.

Correct.

Good.

2rismo might chomp his own pb, but then again, he might run flat 13's all day. :P;):)

like me...

j/k I would love to get a pb and I will be trying hard.

BTW guys, don't delay on payments, we are sharing this day with the V8's and it's first come first served. They have had the event announced a month earlier than us so off to around a 30 car head start. Don't miss out by assuming you can pay much closer to the day. This event WILL sell out.

If you think it's pretty likely then best to get one beforehand. Surely you can do it without going out there? Try contacting WSID directly. Don't mention it's a Skylines day, say it's the V8 owners day. We don't want to flag ourselves too brightly with them.

    • Define "Nissan big brakes". You just mean standard R34 4 pots? And...it's not even the offset you need to worry about. It's really a detail of how much clearance there is between the caliper and the back of the spoke/face, which is affected more by the design of the spoke than it is by the offset. If you think about it....take any wheel, say a 19x8 that does fit and clears the caliper. Then add or subtract an inch of wheel on the outside, without changing anything else. You have changed the offset by half an inch, but not changed the clearance situation at all. Same for if you add or subtract an inch from the inside edge. The way for you to work this out is to take a wheel off the car, grab a straight edge and a ruler or two, and start to measure the distances from the wheel mounting face on the hub to the outer face of the caliper, and the outer diameter (that faces the barrel of the wheel) of the caliper. Armed with these dimensions and any other measurement that grabs your fancy while you are there, you can then go to the seller of the wheels and do the reverse measurements from the wheel's mounting face and see if there will be clearance to the caliper. There really should be. I have 17x8 RPF1s +35 clearing the caliper face by a finger tip. Those wheels do have pretty thin spokes with some curvature.... but then so do most wheels to suit Jap cars.
    • So I’ve got a r34 sedan that I managed to get green stickered, meaning I need to go through government approved wof station for my car to be allowed back on the road for some reason my car is certed for 19x8 rims.. I need these wheels  does anyone know what offset will be fine to clear Nissan big brakes? I saw 35et for sale near me, I can’t drive the car to test fit or risk being fined ..   I searched heaps online couldn’t find anywhere..
    • Okay, with all that being said about sloppy blowing from twins, I happily acknowledge the superiority of a single turbo setup on the RB; however, I still plan on double trouble.  I know the -9s were quite popular for some time because they seemed to meet that sweet spot between the -7s and 5s, would introducing VCAM and/or stroking to 2.8L provide the additional displacement/flow to push twins closer to the 500-600 goal?  Does it make more sense for a daily to just do an engine overhaul, slap some -7s on it and enjoy a bit more reliable power?  Has anyone driven a mine's overhauled and tuned engine?  I know they certainly don't approach the power numbers that you drag monsters do down under, but for daily street usage, I just want it to be fun and healthy.
